You can find V2 here

Hi Guys!

as the community already gave me a lot of cool tools I decided to give something back and created a portable, dimmable stargate lamp with several modes. As my time is currently very limited I will extend more and more content the next days / weeks.

For the moment the print is completed. The software is not completely programmed yet but will follow soon.

In the end the lamp will have the following features:

• it is portable (battery pack)
• it is dimmable
• you can switch modes / lights
• there will be a follow up for an infinity mirror

You need:

• transparent PETG which is drawn as “white”
• grey filament of your choice
• gold filament (ok mine is currently not so golden as desired)
• an arduino pro
• a voltage converter
• one or two batteries (18650)
• WS2812B LED stripe (mine has 29 LEDs)
• a battery charger board with usb-c
• an arduino flasher
• two potentiometer sliders (one for the dimmer, one for the mode switch)
• a power switch
• a lot of wires and some solder skills

On the pictured you just see the installation of the boards / the parts. I did not finish soldering yet and am still completing the code via a development board. This is the reason you see no cables yet as I directly connected the gate to my computer (via arduino uno).

Instead of the flasher, the arduno pro board and the battery charger board you could also use an arduino uno or mini but then you will miss the battery function.

I will add another manual for the flashing process as soon as the code is completed.

As soon as you printed all parts assemble them in the following way:

• Press both Stargate circles in the corresponding bridges
• Add the light-shield to the inner circles (otherwise you will see the support structures shining through the front when the light is on)
• Solder and add the stripes
• Add the bigger diffusor which pushes the LED stripe to the inner circle of the gate
• Assemble the smaller diffusor into the bigger diffusor
• Add the connectors for assembling the gates together
• Assemble the gates
• Add the boards to the bottom part
• solder all that stuff (manual will follow)
• flash the arduino (manual and source-code will follow)
• add the stairs
• you're done :)

If you have any feature requests or ideas just let me know. I will add more explainations as soon as I have the time for it.
